Pumped for the preseason?

0

I'm getting excited about this season. Not only about the Chiefs (some will debate there is not too much to get excited about ) but about the NFL season in general. I think this season is going to be just as exciting as they always prove to be.

By the playoffs I will be frothing at the mouth to see top D's take on top O's and big players making big plays. Football is the greatest game ever invented in my opinion.

As much as I love the game, I never really get too much into the preseason and I haven't tried my hand in a fantasy league till this year. Though, I have thought about it for a few seasons. Unfortunately, most of my friends aren't into football nearly as much as I am. In fact, my dad and my bro really are the only people who I could say that exhult in the Chief's successes and mourn their losses close to the degree that I do.

Until now. After last season's playoff loss, all I got from my friends was the usual shoulder-shrug- "I told you this would happen-" attitude they usually reflect toward something they generally don't give a ship about.

I had to vent. I had to get some stuff off of my chest about that game... About that season. My dad and brother were equally elated watching the final week of the season and equally disappointed with the playoff performance. I needed to know what more people thought. What people who have watched the Chiefs for years and felt those same feelings, knew.

I found chiefscrowd and love it. You guys all are very respectful of each other and put forth concise, valid, and intelligent viewpoints. Some of you are just as rabid Chief's fans as me. Some a little more toned down but that's ok. We need the sane ones around to keep us in check sometimes.

Which brings me to my point (been a while getting here, i know). I haven't had an interest in playing fantasy football because I literally had no one to play with. :confused:

Now we got the chiefscrowd fantasy football challenge rolling and I can't wait for the draft! I'm scouting guys in preseason games and video. It's like another element of the game. I've played the crap out of madden, it's ok. I really want to check out All-Pro this year (I loved 2k5). However, it's just going to be so much fun to read all the smack-talk going around when the Longnecks are destroying your puny fantasy teams this season.

Little scouting info: I do genetic altering of my team's dna and this is what they look like afterward ->

don't know that I get critical, ok maybe a little. It sure sucks when they lose!! Especially last year when they lost to the ste lers. a friend of mine is a fan and yeah I had to bet........and will always bet on RED!!!

I tend to get pretty critical when they lose as well. I wanted everybody fired after the playoff game last year. My friends all think I'm a real nice guy and like to kick it with me. All of them will tell you that I won't win any personality contest when the Chiefs are losing, though.

If you've never done fantasy football, but you're a huge football fan; Then you're absolutely going to love Fantasy Football. It is super addictive. The fact that we all get to play against each other and talk smack will make it that much better.

The only downside to FF is that you start rooting for players that you can't stand so that you can win your FF game.
For example, someone will inevitably draft Javon Walker. They will be rooting for a Javon Walker TD, even though they clearly hate the Broncos. You get the idea.
Hopefully you don't end up with a bunch of guys from the Raiders or Broncos. You should be safe with the Faders since all of their players suck!

this is why I have never won(came close) in either of my leagues!! I know I should pick with my "gut" but....

I have never had a problem with drafting an enemy player. I always know that if the Donks lose and my fantasy team loses, then...HELL YEAH!!!!! I am happy to root against my own fantasy players, since if the Donks win with Javon, My fantasy team would do better. A slight consolation, for dealing with the fact that the Donks won a game.

I am with you man, I am dying for the season to start. I have to endure Hockey and baseball for way too long just to get 16 weeks (19 this year for the Chiefs) of football. I live and die with the Chiefs. If we win then I am in a great mood until the next Sunday, if they lose people do not talk to me on Monday. As much as I love watching the playoffs I don't want the regular season to go by too quickly. It almost feels like it is over before it begins. I vote the NFL make it a 19 game season give everyone two by weeks and add an extra team to the playoffs. CFL plays 19 games (granted Canadians are a little tougher ) I just want more football.

You are not the only Fantasy Football virgin in here. No one around here does any more than football pools. I have a secret that always wins in the pools. I picked 47 out of 48 wins in a three week span two years ago. My work of advice is this : Always bet on the Chiefs and always bet against the B-lls.

And lastly...I would like to thank all of the members, administrators and mods and whatever else there is involved with running a web site(I am a computer idiot, I know how to get here and NFL.com) but I would like to thank everyone for having such a great site to visit. I stumbled acroos the Crowd one day and I am on here as often as possible. Everyone has made me feel at home and everyone's opinion is respected here. There are no idiots posting crap. Every thread in here is worth a read and I jsut wanted to say thanx for making the off season a little shorter!! COLD BEER FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!

The only reason a beer sweats around Canada is because he's decided it will be the next beer he drinks.
